Ode to my Countess Unicorn

Oh my Countess Unicorn

tell me in what lands your graceful

and smooth winged gallop

delights the flowers, and the fairies

because I look for you

everywhere and the only

thing I can see is a grey face

on the screen.

Once you told me

you are mi amiga mejor

and in a couple of

psotcards we got engaged

in the best friendship ever.

This Spanglish Lady of yours

had the happiness of sharing

hot coffee cups in winter mornings

everyday at the same time

that was our celebration

a celebration of friendship, companionship

two women far, far away from each other

yet with hearts side by side

in tastes, distastes, everyday life style

quirks, obsessions, blues...and why not

a pink hole?

One day we planned a trip

a dish of soup together that

mum Unicorn would prepare

for us

With that stinky neighbour of yours

we had plenty of laughs

which we would refer to as SS

and only we knew why

My Countess Unicorn where are you?

are you still wearing my silver ring?

because I wear your silver dollar

the lucky one

and I always raise my eyes to Heaven

waiting for you to pass by, flying

among the stars.

Countess Unicorn...come back!
